Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 143:5

5 I remember the days of old , I meditate on all thy works: I muse on the works of thy hands.

i. e. What thou hast done for thy servants in former times. Which he mentions either, 1. as matter of terror, to consider how unlike God now was to himself and to his former dealings: or, 2. as matter of support from former experience, because God was still the same. Either way it drive him to his prayers, which here follow.
